February** Dynamic Incentive Program
This was a major event in Chinese history, the collapse of the powerful Jin regime and the division of a vast land area, which was not only a sign of the Spring and Autumn period of hegemony towards the seven heroes, but also an extremely profound historical lesson.
So what is the reason for the three divisions?
What impact did he have on Chinese history?
In the eleventh year of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a rebellion in the Jin Kingdom, and Gongzi Chong'er was forced to start a life of escape in order to avoid the frame-up of Li Ji, and although he had been on the run for nearly 20 years, he had been silently following several capable men and sages around him.
In 636 BC, Gongzi Chong'er ascended to the throne of Jin with the help of Qin, and was the Duke of Wen of Jin. Three years later, the famous Battle of Chengpu broke out between Jin and Chu, and the Jin State defeated the Chu army with a small victory. The Liuqing system, which had a huge impact on the Jin State, was formulated by the Duke of Jin Wen before the Battle of Chengpu, and the main members of it were capable men and wise men who had been following the Duke of Jin Wen. Since then, the Liuqing family has been in charge of the military and political affairs of the Jin State, which has played an important role in the promotion of the national strength of the Jin State, and has adopted the hereditary system to make the Liuqing follow"Long death and secondary compensation"The principle of taking turns to govern, and all generations have been based on the principle of "respecting the king.""The slogan is assisted by Jin Gong. Moreover, in order to maintain their status, the Liuqing clan has always been the capable. Therefore, in the later Jin Kingdom, although there were some mediocre monarchs, with the assistance of Liuqing, they still held a dominant position. However, it was precisely because of the excessive reliance of the Jin Duke that the power of the Jin Duke gradually declined over time, and the power of the various ethnic groups of the Liuqing became more and more powerful, and they also fell into each other due to conflicts of interests, and finally annexed the real power and most of the territory of the Jin State in the late Spring and Autumn Period through fierce wars, mainly controlled by the Han clan, the Zhao clan, the Wei clan, the Zhi clan, the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan. Later, the Fan family and the Zhongxing clan were destroyed, and only Han, Zhao, and Wei Zhi Siqing were left in the Jin Kingdom, and the four doctors were Zhi Boyao, Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi, among which the strength of the Zhi family was the strongest, and the Jin State at this time had lost its hegemony, and Zhi Boyao advocated that each family take out a hundred miles of land to return to the Jin Duke on the grounds of a strong Jin State, and took the lead in taking out 10,000 households to set an example.
Although Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi were reluctant, they could only agree because they were afraid of the power of the Zhi family, but when they came to Zhao Xiangzi, they resolutely refused to pay, so Zhi Boyao ordered the Wei and Han families to attack the Zhao family together. At that time, Zhao Xiangzi knew that he was outnumbered, so he led his troops to retreat to Jinyang, which is today's Taiyuan, Shanxi, and strictly ordered that he could not defend it, so that there was no progress in the two years of the strong attack of Han, Wei and Zhi. One day, Zhi Boyao found by observing the terrain that the Jinshui in the northeast of Jinyang went down the city, and if he ordered to dig a river to divert water into the city, then the city could be broken without soldiers, so he ordered to build a dam to divert water. It happened to be the rainy season at that time, so when Zhi Boyao was flooded, it did have a certain impact on Zhao Jun, and the Han and Wei families immediately became frightened when they saw this scene. Because they suddenly realized that the Wei family's Anyi and the Han family's Pingyang happened to rely on the river, and Zhi Boyao was able to flood the Zhao army today, and he would be able to treat them in the same way tomorrow. After the flooding of Jinyang, because of the problem of insufficient water, Jinyang did not fall, and even aroused the determination of the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist desperately. Zhao Xiangzi had a guest named Zhang Mengtan, who became an important turning point in the battle. He thought that the Han and Wei families were not willing to follow the Zhi family, and they could turn the enemy into an alliance through communication, so they secretly went out of the city to spy with Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi, and it happened that the two families were at ease with the Zhi family, so they naturally agreed to the Zhao family's joint proposal.
Not long after, one night, chaos woke up Zhi Boyao, who was sleeping soundly. As soon as Zhi Boyao got up, he found that the water under the bed was already up to his knees, and it was rising very rapidly. It turned out that this was the Han, Zhao, and Wei families who led water into the camp, and the soldiers of the Zhi family were wiped out because they were defenseless, and more than 200 members of Zhi Boyao and the family were finally killed, and their land was divided by the Han, Zhao, and Wei families. The Jin Kingdom at this time. It's dead in name.
In 403 B.C., Han, Zhao and Wei sent envoys to threaten Zhou Tianzi to make the three princes, and the three Central Plains powers were established, and after 28 years, they completely divided the remaining land of the Jin State, known as the Three Families of Jin, and the Jin Kingdom perished, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty entered the Warring States Period of the Seven Kingdoms from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the three Jin families only divided the land of the Jin Kingdom, but in fact it had a huge impact on Chinese history. First of all, the Jin State was extremely strong throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, which was a huge obstacle to the eastward expansion of the Qin State, even if it was later divided tragically, Han, Zhao, and Wei were still able to rank among the seven powers, which shows the strength of the Jin State before the **. Therefore, if there is no boundary between the three families, the Jin State must be an insurmountable obstacle to the eastward advance of the Qin State. However, after the three families were separated, although Han, Zhao, and Wei still blocked Qin's Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strategic direction of the three kingdoms was no longer consistent, and the interests involved were more complex, so Qin had an opportunity. So much so that the later Qin Shi Huang was able to unify the six kingdoms. Secondly, during the Warring States Period, there were a large number of top talents in the Wei State, and the Zhao State also had two famous generals, Lian Po and Zhao Mu. If there were no three divisions of Jin, and all these talents were concentrated in the Jin State, then the difficulty of Qin's unification of the six countries can be imagined, and it would not even be possible to achieve unification at all. However, no country after ** could fight with Qin alone. Therefore, looking at the division of the three schools from a strategic perspective has an extremely significant impact on Chinese history, and it is also a very profound lesson.
